Ideas for next car, spoiled sick by my celica Options

[xkillerx]

Hello 6GC folks,

I've been an extremly satisfied owner of a 1.8 ST for more than three years now.

Reasons for me being EXTREMLY HAPPY with it:

* goes like stink (+considering its powerplant+)
* corners like on rails
* looks smoking hot
* wonderful, almost luxurious interior craftsmanship
* practical for four, perfect for two
* minimal consumption (for a sports car)
* NEVER, EVER BREAKS DOWN
* cheap to own, drive, register and insure


However I'm considering getting something fresher, but I am not willing to sacrifice much of the above just for getting a new car.

Some of the vehicles I've tried so far and was unsatisfied with:

Nissan 350Z

+ quick
+ luxurious
+ beautiful
+ not a target for theft
- insurance nightmare
- rear wheel drive only
- luggage space tight even for two
- generally horribly inpractical


Subaru forester non turbo

+ plenty of space
+ plenty of kit
+ dependable all wheel drive
- horrible consumption
- so ****ing slow
- almost flipped it when tried tight cornering
- bland, cheap feeling interior


Subaru Impreza regular

just ****. next please.


Subaru Impreza WRX

+ so ugly that it's sooo prettyyy for me
+ goes like stink
+ corners like mad
+ practical for five
- horrible consumption
- horrible, cheap feeling, bland interior


5th gen Celica alltrac

+ good looking in black
+ dependable 4WD
+ nice interior
- heavy
- very slow despite its engine
- pop up headlights
- even older than my current car


Mazda 6 diesel MZR CD

+ looks sweet
+ plenty of space and kit
+ MZR has top notch interior
+ supposedly bulletproof reliability
+ very economical
- ford diesel torquey but not really quick
- it's a ****ing family car



Cars I would so much like to test but can't find here. The +/- are my IMAGINERY ASSUMPTIONS - if you had these cars please correct me


Mazda RX8

Toyota Celica 6th Gen GT4

+ all of the above as my car, plus even faster, and a bit prettier
